When caring for a loved one, seemingly simple tasks like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and organizing paperwork can feel suddenly overwhelming.
An advocate can make the calls, manage appointments, and keep records organized so you can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with your loved one.
Alzheimer’s care is complicated. Unlike many other diseases, treating Alzheimer’s disease means juggling physical disabilities, cognitive decline, and the need to maintain a safe living space.
An experienced care advocate can serve as your central point-of-contact, helping you overcome each of these challenges as they arise. They’ll keep doctors coordinated, find the best medical equipment, and even connect you to local Alzheimer’s support groups.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease can be exhausting, and it’s important to take care of yourself. It’s not their fault, but patients with Alzheimer’s can be irrationally angry, intensely anxious, and even aggressive. Managing these severe mood swings can be emotionally draining, often leading to resentment and burnout.
Having someone to talk to, someone who really gets it, can make all the difference. Your Solace advocate understands what you’re going through and will be there to listen when you need them most. They can be a shoulder to lean on when times get hard, and a voice of reason when nothing seems to make sense.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Alzheimer's disease requires management from multiple specialists, including neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and memory care experts who often practice in different facilities with limited communication between them. Solace Alzheimer's advocates serve as your central coordination hub, ensuring all providers have complete information about your loved one's cognitive status, medication responses, and behavioral symptoms. They organize medical records from different specialists into one comprehensive system that tracks disease progression, treatment adjustments, and care needs over time. Your advocate schedules appointments strategically to minimize confusion and fatigue for your loved one while maximizing productive discussions with healthcare providers. This coordinated approach transforms fragmented specialty care into a cohesive treatment program where each provider works from the same updated information about your family member's condition.
Alzheimer's disease creates the need for evolving care arrangements as cognitive abilities change, yet families often struggle to identify appropriate timing and options for these sensitive transitions. Solace advocates help develop proactive, staged care plans that adapt to your loved one's changing needs while preserving dignity and quality of life. They research memory care options in your community, from specialized in-home services to adult day programs to memory care facilities, explaining the differences in care approaches and environmental supports. Your advocate helps identify trigger points for when care transitions might become necessary, both for your loved one's safety and family caregiver wellbeing. This thoughtful planning transforms reactive crisis management into proactive decision-making that honors the person with Alzheimer's while supporting the practical and emotional needs of family caregivers.
Alzheimer's disease profoundly changes communication abilities, creating frustration and disconnection between patients and family members who no longer share the same reality. Solace advocates help develop specific communication approaches tailored to your loved one's current cognitive abilities and personal history. They research evidence-based techniques like validation therapy, reminiscence approaches, and sensory engagement that create meaningful connections despite memory loss. Your advocate helps family members understand the neurological basis for communication challenges and develop realistic expectations that reduce frustration on both sides. This specialized guidance transforms potentially distressing interactions into moments of connection that maintain relationship bonds despite cognitive decline.
The progressive nature of Alzheimer's creates prolonged grief and caregiver stress that can overwhelm family members without adequate support systems. Solace advocates help build essential emotional resources and practical coping strategies that sustain families through this challenging journey. They connect you with Alzheimer's-specific support groups where you can share experiences with others who truly understand your situation. Your advocate helps identify healthy emotional outlets, stress management techniques, and respite care arrangements that prevent caregiver burnout. This comprehensive support acknowledges that Alzheimer's affects the entire family system and creates resources that allow caregivers to maintain their own wellbeing while providing compassionate care throughout the disease progression.
